bfstats.io player tracking

Hey all, I recently got back in to BF1942, and I wrote an app that I could track busy times on popular servers.

bfstats.io is the site.

It tracks servers and players alike, so if you search your player name you can see a break down of your rankings, recent rounds, and badges.

If you find it useful please let me know!

1. Useful
2. Not useful
3. Why do we need stats for a 20 year old game?

People voting for "Not useful" are the same that vote for El Alamein CTF.

Amazing work! This kind of effort from the community is what helps keep the game alive. Very appreciated.

I would consider myself a super-user of your site.

Thanks all - and appreciate the honesty in the poll

It started off very simple, and players like tragic have been providing some useful suggestions, so if you have an idea lmk.

Code is in GitHub for those who know their way around raising Issues / PRs.

It's very nice and very useful. It's also attractively made while maintaining simplicity.

Thanks for adding the country flags, too!

How about adding a global player number with a graph, similar to what was done at bf1942.eu? People could look at historical global player number trends, and maybe you could leverage the power of AI to generate insights from the data. Lots of possibilities here.

Sure I've added that graph to the server listings page.
I do capture a lot of information and want to spend some time on the analytics side of it, to look at what interesting details I can glean. AI can do a nice job summarising data in a riendly way - I might look at how it can help with that to start with.

Re: bfstats.io player tracking

Couple of new features
- Placements leaderboards. Rankings based on how many 1st, 2nd and 3rd places you've received. You can slice it by changing the minimum number of players in the round. A higher number of players means the ranking had more opposition.
- Will add team stats next, to track the winning team, and record that on the player profile. Will also show it on the server details page to show team winning stats per map

Re: bfstats.io player tracking

Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy that it can be useful and interesting to those who are still playing
It serves a dual purpose for me because I'm able to learn some things that are useful for my job.

Re: bfstats.io player tracking

This is just me nitpicking so feel free to ignore my suggestions but would it be possible to add the following things to the global player graph please?

- The ability to filter player numbers by mod;
- Long term player data (since when you started capturing the data) if that doesn’t affect performance too much;
- Moving average on long term player data;
- Minimum and maximum player counts displayed as a line on the graph, with labels, instead of underneath the graph

I've made a few changes to try and capture the trends - let me know what you think.

I don't have all the data I need to add the mod filtering quickly - but I will take a look into it.
